"Fancy meetin you here."

December 31, 1983/ January 1st 1984
Bucks bar

Dally POV:

It's 2 hours until midnight and I'm not exited whatsoever. I really thought that me and Naomi would be together with the gang, but only the gang is here. No Naomi.

We sat quietly at the bar and talked about whatever. It was uncomfortably quiet..like not usual. Last year was a blast for new years. But it's different now..Steve came outta nowhere and sat down with us. He ordered a beer.

"I'm gonna go smoke." I said, getting up and walking outside. No one said anything on my way out. I took out my pack of cigarettes and sat down on the grass, the same spot me and Naomi sat that night. Lord I miss her. I never thought I would become so fragile over a girl. I stared up at the stars and finally calmed down slightly. I felt like every time I thought about her I wanted the sob.

"Fancy meetin' you here."

my heart stopped. I turned around quickly and sat up.

"Naomi?!"
—————
Lucky me. I got 4 days off for new years, most people only got three but I'm the favorite so.

I called Ponyboy earlier that day and told him not to tell dally that I was coming back. I also told him to tell the gang and to act sad or whatever. They told me they were going to be at bucks tonight so Steve would drive me over and I could surprise dally.

"Alrighty here we are, you can go in the back and I'll tell you when he's gone." Said Steve as I got out of his truck. I walked through the back door and waited. Steve walked past me and sat with the gang. I saw dally through the corner of my eye and saw him glance at Steve. I then saw Steve give me a thumbs up and I quickly walked out the side door so I could sneak up on him without him knowing. I saw him on the grass staring at the stars, the same way we did that one night. I leaned against the building and crossed my arms. I grinned before deciding to speak up.

"Fancy meetin' you here." He turned back.

"Naomi?!"

"The one and only." I didn't have time to change out of my flight gear because we were quite literally kicked out.

"Ok pack up your stuff and get out! I want to go home!" Is all he said before leaving.

He immediately got up and ran over to me and almost knocked me over by hugging me. And surprisingly, (not really), he started crying. He buried his head into my shoulder and hugged me tightly.

"I missed you so much." He said, his voice muffled. I laughed softly and hugged him back. He looked up at me and he was smiling like a mad man. He then grabbed my face and kissed me.

I didn't question it. I kissed him back and he pinned me to the side of the building. I wrapped my hands around his neck and his hands grabbed my waist. We started making out until horsegirl walked out and seemed utterly traumatized.

"Uh-..oops." He turned and faced away.

"Guess you both had a nice reunion." He said, facing the wall. We all laughed and dally got off of me.

"Yeah I guess we did." Said dally. My face was red and it was very noticeable. We walked inside and the whole gang ran up and hugged me.

"Oh sh-!" Was the only thing that I could say before being trampled my Johnny. He quite literally body slammed me onto the floor and hugged me.

"You scared me so damn bad!!" He hugged me tighter. We got many stares from people, but I didn't care. I hugged him back and Darry and soda had to pry him off of me. We got sat down and dally begged me to get a beer and have fun. He said it's because it's new years.

"Ok fine..whatever." He smiled and got up quickly to go get me one.

We sat at the bar while the others played pool and football in the back.

"So..what did you do while you were there?" He asked, turning his head to me.

"Nothing exciting to say the least. We only got to fly once, the rest we just learned procedures." I respond. He nods his hand.

A small smile creeps onto my lips. "Did you cry?" I said jokingly as I nudged his arm.

He chuckled and nudged me back harder. "Maybe."
